A Guide to Jewish Genealogy - Krakow
by Geoffrey M. Weisgard
Despite its modest size of 113 pages, this booklet carries a
mighty punch! It is a veritable encyclopedia, containing almost
everything the Krakow genealogist needs to know when researching his or
her Krakow
ancestry.
A glance at the contents (shown below) gives one an idea of
the vast range of reference material that is provided. Each chapter is replete with
background information as well as advice where to go to see/obtain the
relevant documentation. The book is reasonably priced at $10
(excluding postage, which depends on
your location). To order a book, please contact Mr. Weisgard by clicking
